Unlike the conventional method using the Archimedes principle (where the target object is immersed in water), the volume meter system allows volume and density measurement of the target object in a dry state.

Even the volume of objects with complex shape can be measured accurately in a short time (about two seconds).

In combination with an electronic precision balance, the volume and density can be measured quickly.

Depending on these factors, the measurement method, type of measuring instrument, and choice of peripheral equipment will differ.

Selecting the right combination of products is essential for achieving accurate and reliable results.

The following pages are intended to help with the selection of equipment, by describing some representative configurations and showing connection examples.

In acoustic measurements requiring high accuracy, the basic instrument combination consists of a condenser microphone and preamplifier. To this, other equipment, such as a frequency analyzer and data recorder, is added as needed.

The type of condenser microphone will be determined by factors such as the target sound pressure level, frequency range, and sound field conditions. (See selection examples on page 17.)

The general-application Sound Level Measuring Amplifier NA-42 is suitable as an amplifier for these microphones.

Frequency analyzers come in two types: constant-ratio type real-time analyzers and constant-amplitude type FFT analyzers. In the former category, RION offers the Precision Sound Level Meter NA-28 with the 1/3 octave band real-time analyzer function. In the FFT category, there is the Portable Multi-function Measuring System RIONOTE. The Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer SA-02 and Portable Multi-function Measuring System RIONOTE provides both 1/1, 1/3, 1/12※ octave band real-time analysis＊ and FFT analysis＊ capability.

Sound Level Meters and Vibration Level Meters in the Field

Sound Level Monitoring

The basic model lineup for JIS and IEC standard compliant sound level meters is the NL series.

For on-site measurements of vibration levels, the Japan Measurement Law and JIS compliant Vibration Level Meters VM-55 are suitable.

The NL-42 series (SD cards) and the VM-55 series (SD cards) use memory cards to allow long-term recording of vibration level data and calculated data.

Data stored on memory cards can be utilized by the dedicated software applications AS-60 and AS-60VM for data graph display, editing, further processing, and creating daily and weekly reports.

The NL-42 series supports use of the Octave Band and 1/3 Octave Band Real Time Analysis Program NX-42RT and the FFT Analysis Program NX-42FT. The Data Management Software AS-60 allows playback of real sound files. Analysis data saved with the NX-42RT can be displayed, edited, and processed using the Data Management Software (With Octave and 1/3 Octave Data Management Software) AS-60RT. The VM-55 allows use of the 1/3 Octave Real-Time Analysis program VX-55RT for frequency analysis.

For recording of sound level and vibration level data, RION level recorder LR-07 is useful.

Sound pressure waveform and vibration acceleration waveform information can be recorded using a 4 channel data recorder DA-21, allowing for later analysis with waveform processing software.

Aircraft noise, factory noise and other types of noise that have an influence on the living environment require constant level monitoring in order to devise efficient countermeasures. For short-term monitoring, the Sound Level Meter NL-42 series along with the level recorder LR-07 and a suitable all-weather windscreen is a convenient arrangement (Figure 1).

For constant monitoring on a long-term basis, a system built around the Environmental Sound Monitor NA-37 is optimal. Such a system can use the public telephone network or another suitable online link to send data to a monitoring facility. The optional Aircraft Noise Identifier Unit AN-37 provides the capability of determining sound incident direction while the Environmental Noise Data Processing Software AS-50PA1 handles the obtained data.

The Aircraft Noise Processing Program NX-37C and Aircraft Noise Data Processing Software AS-50PA2 including support for ground-level sound events are also available. Environmental Noise Data Processing Software AS-40PA1 is also available that allows to process the collected data of environmental noise (Figure 2). sound event refers to noise produced by aircraft on the ground, * Ground-level within the airport area. This includes noise from take-off and landing, taxiing, engine trial runs, APU etc.

The measurement of sound exposure levels is an important prerequisite for protecting personnel working in an environment with high sound level from hearing damage. Regulations to control generation of noise at work places have come into force in many countries.

For instance, The Noise Prevention Guideline issued by the Japanese Labor Ministry (currently the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry) in 1992 provides the framework for measurement and evaluation of equivalent continuous sound pressure levels.

The Sound Level Meter NL-42 series is suitable for such measurements.

When the NL-42 series is used, the results can be stored on a SD card and later exported to a spreadsheet application for easy processing.

The Octave Band and 1/3 Octave Band Real Time Analysis Program NX-42RT can also be used to analyze the frequency ranges that are critical for noise countermeasures.

The Sound Level Meter NA-28 with the 1/3 octave band real-time analyzer function is also a highly useful tool.

Analysis data saved with the NX-42RT and NA-28 can be displayed, edited, and processed using the Data Management Software (With Octave and 1/3 Octave Data Management Software) AS-60RT.

So-called infrasound in the range below the human hearing threshold, from 1 Hz to about 20 Hz, can have a physiological impact on humans if sound pressure levels are very high. It can also cause other unwanted effects such as window rattling and develop into an environmental problem.

To measure sound in this range, the Sound Level Meter NL-62 + NX-62RT which provides G characteristics as defined by ISO 7196 and 1/3 octave band analysis can be used.

By connecting the Level Recorder LR-07 or a 4 channel Data Recorder DA-21 the level changes and sound pressure signal condition can be recorded, and the Printer DPU-414 allows printout of measurement results.

Measuring the noise level and vibrations produced by machinery and other equipment can often provide valuable data for quality control. Depending on the characteristics of the measurement target, UC series microphones or PV series accelerometers are used as sensors connected to equipment such as the Sound Level Meter Unit UN-14, Vibration Meter VM-83 or Charge Amplifier UV-15/16.

When only the sound or vibration Level is to be measured, the NL-42 series, NA-42, or VM-83 with comparator function are suitable.

If detection of unusual sound or other frequency analysis processing is required, the Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer SA-02, Portable Multi-function Measuring System RIONOTE, or High-Precision Sound Level Meter NA-28 (with 1/3 octave band analysis capability) are useful.

For pass/fail evaluation of products in a manufacturing process, the Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer SA-02 series and evaluation software of the CAT-SA02-CMP03 series, or the Portable Multi-function Measuring System RIONOTE and dedicated evaluation software (under development) are suitable.

Sound-Proof Chambers, Anechoic Chambers, Echo Chambers

Measurement of Sound Insulation and other Performance Parameters of Buildings

Sound Intensity・ Sound source location

When performing acoustic measurements, special conditions must often be established, such as low-noise environment, semi-free sound field, free sound field, or diffuse sound field.

Low-noise environment Using a sound-proof chamber or box, when the sound level emitted by equipment is low, ambient noise can influence a measurement. To prevent this, place the measurement target in a sound-proof chamber or box. In some cases, using an anechoic chamber or box where the influence of reflections is minimized can also be useful.

For acoustic power level measurements according to the sound pressure method or for measuring the sound insulation characteristics of building materials, a semi-free sound field, free sound field, or diffuse sound field must be realized, according to standard stipulations. This can be achieved by using suitable RION products.

The acoustic properties of dividing walls, floor slabs, and other building elements are usually measured and evaluated according to the JIS specifications or methods recommended by the Architectural Institute of Japan, as listed below.

Sound intensity is defined as the sound energy coming from a specific direction.

By measuring sound intensity, it is possible to assess the sound power level of a sound source or measure the sound insulation performance of materials without having to use an anechoic chamber or other special equipment. It also is useful when examining from which part of the sound source a given noise emanates or which part of a material allows sound to pass through, and allows visualization of the results.

For sound intensity measurement, the Sound Intensity Probe SI-31ｴ is connected to a Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer of the SA-02 series, and the Sound Intensity Measurement Software AS-15PA5 is used.

By choosing the 3-Axis Simultaneous Measurement Intensity Probe SI-33ｴ, results for a three-dimensional grid can be obtained in a single operation.

Using the sound source location software AS-16PA5, the sound incidence direction can be displayed in combination with a camera image.

Semi-free sound field Using a semi-anechoic chamber Except for the floor, all surfaces of such chambers are specially treated for sound absorption to minimize the influence of reflections.

Free sound field Using an anechoic chamber All surfaces including the floor of such chambers are specially treated for sound absorption to minimize the influence of reflections.

Diffuse sound field Using an echo chamber or type I test chamber For sound insulation measurements, JIS prescribes the use of a so-called Type I chamber which provides an environment with uniform energy distribution.

Insulation measurement environment Using a type II test chamber This refers to a cuboid test chamber with specially adjusted reverberation times for specific frequencies.

To create the white / pink noise required for these measurements, the Random Noise Generator SF-06 is used. Suitable impact sound sources are the Tapping Machine FI-01, the Bang Machine FI-02, and the Impact Ball YI-01.

For evaluation complying with the standard stipulations, frequency analysis must also be performed. The required measurement results are reliably obtained with the Precision Sound Level Meter NA-28 in combination with the Building Acoustic Card NX-28BA. Rion also offers the Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer SA-02 series and the Airborne/Floor Impact Sound Insulation Measurement Software AS-20PE5.

Sound Power Level

Sound quality evaluation

Pure tone evaluation

Even if emitting noise of the same energy level, the actual ambient noise level in the vicinity of mechanical or electrical machinery, office equipment etc. will differ, depending on various conditions. When predicting expected noise levels associated with installation or removal of a given piece of equipment, or when assessing the equipment as a single noise source, it is important to determine the sound power level which represents the acoustic energy produced by the equipment per unit of time.

The basic components that are required when configuring a system to measure the sound power level of a sound source are suitable microphones and preamplifiers, a Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer of the SA-02 series, and sound power level measurement software.

Sound power level measurement system using a hemi-anechoic chamber ISO 3745 ISO 3744 Calculates the sound power level according to the stipulations of the respective standard.

Sound power level measurement system using a reverberation chamber, wide-band) ISO 3741 Calculates the sound power level according to the stipulations of the respective standard

In conventional sound evaluation measurements, frequency weighting using the "A" characteristics is commonly used for measurements intended to express the noise level. However, sound quality is increasingly gaining recognition as an aspect that is significant in evaluating the sound emitted by various kinds of products.

Consequently, various parameters expressing sound quality such as loudness, roughness, and sharpness have come to be widely recognized as useful for evaluating sound. To measure these parameters, a system consisting of microphone and preamplifier, Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer of the SA-02 series, and sound quality evaluation software is suitable.

The Tonal Audibility Calculation Program (Excel macro) can be used for pure tone evaluation.

ISO 1996-2:2007- Annex C Assessing the audibility of tones in noise The aim of the objective method is to assess the prominence of tones in the same way as average listeners based on the psychoacoustic concept of critical bands.

Measurement of Mechanical Vibrations

Vibration Monitoring

Industrial Machinery Equipment Diagnosis

Vibration measurements are most commonly carried out using PV series piezoelectric accelerometers as the sensor providing the input signal. Because there will be considerable differences in the magnitude of vibrations, depending on the measurement object, RION offers a wide range of accelerometers with different sensitivity levels and dimensions. Velocity information can be obtained by integrating the acceleration figures. Velocity can then be converted to displacement by further integration.

The RION product lineup in the category of portable vibration meters includes the Pocketable Vibration Meter VM-63A, the Vibration Meter VM-82A, and the Vibration Analyzer VA-12 with built-in FFT analysis function. In the larger stationary type unit category, RION offers. The Vibration Meter VM-83, which also supports servo accelerometers, and the UV series charge amplifiers, such as the UV-15 and UV-16, which support a multi-channel configuration for simultaneous measurement.

To perform vibration analysis, the Vibration Analyzer VA-12, the Portable Multi-function Measuring System RIONOTE with FFT analysis＊ and 1/1, 1/3, and 1/12※ octave band analysis＊ capability, or the Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer SA-02 can be used.

When measuring vibration characteristics of machine parts and facilities, a vibration source is commonly used. Various types of containing, different output levels, are available to match the size of the object under test.

Vibration monitoring is an important tool for detecting symptoms of impending problems in machinery and for implementing preventive maintenance.

In the semiconductor industry and other sectors that require high accuracy manufacturing, vibration monitoring helps to improve yield and facilitates quality control. There are two basic patterns for vibration monitoring: continuous monitoring where vibration levels are automatically monitored on an ongoing basis and an alarm is triggered when a certain level is exceeded, and periodic monitoring at regular intervals combined with trend analysis designed to assess and manage the condition of the equipment.

RION offers a range of vibration accelerometers suitable for constant monitoring including general-purpose, high-temperature, water-proof and insulated types, and accelerometers with integrated preamplifiers. The Vibration Monitor UG-50 is suitable for such applications and offers the capability to output an alarm signal.

The Vibration Analyzer VA-12 and the Vibration Meter VM-83 can be connected to a computer for configuring a constant monitoring system.

All machines use either rotation, reciprocal movement, impact, or some other form of motion to achieve their purpose. If a problem occurs somewhere, unwanted vibration will increase. Normally, simple diagnosis is carried out on a regular schedule to establish the normal/abnormal status of equipment. When a problem is detected, precision diagnosis is performed to obtain in-depth knowledge about the condition.

Products suitable for simple diagnosis include the General-Purpose Vibration Meter VM-82A and the Pocketable Vibration MeterVM-63A. These allow checking multiple pieces of machinery within a short time, using simple procedures.

For precision diagnosis, the Vibration Analyzer VA-12 with built-in FFT analysis function are well suited.

Whole-Body Vibration Measurement

Hand-arm Vibration Measurement

Mode Analysis

Vibrations are transmitted to the human body via the feet when standing, via the posterior when seated, and via the back when leaning on a backrest.

The influence of such vibrations on humans can be evaluated under many aspects including vibration perception, comfort, health hazards, and motion sickness. ISO 2631 specifies many different frequency compensation circuits for judging vibration depending on direction as well as rotational vibration. ISO 2631 compliant measurements can be made by using the 3-Axis Vibration Meter VM-54 combined with the Whole Body Vibration Card VX-54WB/VX-54WB1 or Marine Vibration Card VX-54WS. For measurement of seat vibrations and evaluation of ride quality, the Seat Measurement Accelerometer PV-62 is mounted to the measurement target and connected to the 3-Channel Preamplifier VP-80, as shown in (Figure 1).

For evaluation of buildings and ride quality in ships, vibration measurement can also be carried out with the Accelerometer PV-83CW (supplied with VX-54WS), as shown in (Figure 2).

When making motion sickness related measurements, the frequency range from 0.1 to 0.5 Hz is relevant. A suitable measurement setup consists of the Servo Accelerometer LS-10C for detecting vibrations, connected to Multi-Channel Analyzer SA-02 via the Servo Accelerometer Power Supply LF-20 (Figure 3).

In the work environment, hand-arm vibration leading to an ailment called Raynaud's disease can pose a serious problem. This kind of vibration-related ailment, where blood circulation in the hand and fingers decreases causing them to appear white, is often due to the use of chain saws, rock drilling machines and other hand-held or hand-guided power tools that produce vibrations.

ISO 5349 compliant quantitative evaluation of such vibrations is possible by using the 3-Axis Vibration Meter VM-54 together with the Hand-Arm Vibration Card VX-54WH. To devise measures for preventing such vibrations, the vibration exposure can be determined by a Triaxial vibration component measurement performed on the handle of the tool in question. For this purpose, the Triaxial Accelerometer PV-93/97C/97ｴ or multiple single-axis accelerometers PV-90B/90ｴ are combined with the 3-Channel Preamplifier VP-80 and connected to the VM-54 in which the Hand-Arm Vibration Card VX-54WH has been installed.

It is also possible to measure the hand-arm vibration using the Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer SA-02 series with the software CAT-SA02-HT.

Analyzing the state and type of vibrations occurring in objects is an important approach that helps to detect early signs of problems, prevent breakdowns, and reduce the emission of noise. Test mode analysis is a method that uses vibration modes for creating models of vibration patterns. It is especially useful in exploring causes and countermeasures for resonance phenomena and other vibration and noise related problems.

An impulse hammer is used to create a controlled impact, and the resulting vibrations are measured in 3 directions on the entire surface, using suitable accelerometers such as the PV-90B/91C. A Multi-Channel Analyzer of the SA-02 series and the Mode Analysis Software ME Scope are then employed to perform the mode analysis.

A large number of transfer function peaks can provide information about normal mode vibration frequency, mode shape, attenuation coefficient and other mode parameters.

Separate structure change simulation software makes it possible to study anticipated vibration mode changes that will result from physical changes to the machinery or the supporting structure.

External force response analysis is also possible.

Tracking Analysis System

Measurement of Low-Frequency Microvibrations

Vibration measurement with sound level meter

Nearly all kinds of rotating machinery such as car engines and electric motors produce vibrations that depend on their revolution speed and gear ratio. Such vibrations then become the source of noise which contains predominantly frequency components resulting from the vibrations.

Because the revolution speed of rotating machinery changes over time, it is effective to perform frequency analysis in sync with the changing revolution speed. This process is called tracking analysis.

There are several types of tracking analysis, as described below.

Harmonics ratio analysis Using the basic rotation speed as the fundamental, the higher-order harmonics components (2nd order, 3rd order...) are analyzed according to the rotation speed change.

RPM tracking analysis This is a special form of harmonics ratio analysis, where the level change at one frequency or harmonic is plotted on a graph pegged to the rotation speed change.

Mode circle Another form of harmonics ratio analysis, where the amplitude and phase change at one frequency or harmonic according to the rotation speed change is plotted on a coordinate system.

Spectrum map The change in spectral pattern when the rotation speed is changed is plotted continuously and the level change is analyzed in a macro reference frame.

Campbell diagram

Low- level, low-frequency vibrations must be measured in various instances, such as when measuring minute floor vibrations to assess the occupation comfort of a building, checking for microvibrations in a clean room for semiconductor manufacturing or testing the efficiency of vibration damping systems for precision machinery.

The Servo Accelerometer LS-10C/40C, Vibration Level Meter VM-55 or the high-output accelerometer PV-87 in combination with the Vibration Meter VM-83 are suitable for such purposes.

It is also possible to perform frequency analysis and evaluation with the Multi-Channel Signal Analyzer SA-02 series, Portable Multi-function Measuring System RIONOTE＊.

The evaluation of floor vibrations uses the floor response waveform for determining vibration frequency, displacement, velocity, acceleration and attenuation constants. These are then compared to reference curves for actual evaluation. For testing the efficiency of vibration damping systems, sensors are mounted on the floor and to the mounting bed of the object under test.

By connecting a vibration sensor to the sound level meter, measurement of vibrations becomes possible.

＊ RIONOTE is optional (FFT analysis program or 1/3 Octave analysis program can be chosen.)

The rpm dependent spectral change is plotted on a graph where the amplitude value is represented by the diameter of a circle.

Sound level meters are divided into two categories: Class 1 and Class 2. There is a difference in performance between these classes. Perfomance specifications and test methods of sound level meters are specified in the international standards IEC 61672 series. Two performance categories, Class 1 and Class 2, are specified in the standard.

Basically, specifications for Class 1 and Class 2 sound level meters have the same design goals and differ in the tolerance limits. Tolerance limits for Class 2 specifications are greater than, or equal to, those for Class 1 specifications.

Some common terms used having with special meanings and relating to sound level meters are listed below. ①Frequency weightings The different sensitivity of the human ear at different frequencies is represented by the "A" and "C" weightings as shown in Figure 3. When measured with the "A" weightings, the result is close to the subjective sound level impression. When measured with the "C" weightings, the result is close to the sound pressure level (physical quantity). ②Time weightings Sound level is obtained by averaging the signal corresponding to the sound pressure raised to the second power. Two kinds of time weightings are used, which differ in the time constant used for averaging: F (Fast, time constant 125 ms) and S (Slow, time constant 1 s). For normal noise measurements, the F-time weighting is used. In some countries, a third characteristic called Impulse is used for the measurement of impulsive and impact noise. ③Type approval and test certification (In Japan) Type approval refers to a process by which the government tests sound level meters provided by domestic manufacturers and importers and ascertains that their construction and performance is in accordance with the stipulations of the Measurement Act. When a sound level meter model has been type approved, most items can be omitted during testing for individual product certification.

Standards of Sound Level Meters

The physical magnitude of sound is sound pressure, representing tiny changes in atmospheric pressure, the unit measured by Pascal (Pa). The range of sound pressure that can be detected extends from 20µPa to 200 Pa, a difference of a factor of as much as 10 million times. The loudness of a sound as perceived is proportional to the logarithmic value of the sound pressure. The sound magnitude is expressed as a sound pressure level in decibel (dB), using the smallest sound that can be heard (20µPa) as reference, and covering a range from 0 dB to 140 dB. The sensitivity of the human ear differs depending on the frequency of the sound. The same sound pressure can be perceived differently at different frequencies. When a certain sound is perceived equal to the sound pressure level PdB at 1 kHz, the loudness level of that sound is said to be Pphon. Figure 2 shows the relationship between the loudness level of a pure tone and its frequency. The curves in this graph are called equal loudness curves. As can be seen from the graph, the physical magnitude of a sound and its subjective magnitude are not the same. Rather, there is a complex relationship between the two.

Frequency Analyzer

Physical and Sensuous Value of Sound

Vibration Meter

What is commonly called "sound" is actually vibrations of air. Various objects, when rubbed or tapped, can become sound sources. The vibration of the sound source object causes the adjacent air to vibrate and these vibrations are transmitted to the ear where they are perceived as sound.

In our everyday environment, there are many different kinds of sounds, but humans do not respond to all of these. Rather, we subjectively make decisions and focus only on certain sounds that we want to hear. Other sounds that are not important, often inconvenient or disturbing, are sounds that are undesirable or unnecessary. Such sounds are called "noise". Rather than containing certain physical properties, what defines noise is a subjective characteristic that is specific to the listener. Sound that is too loud, unpleasant, or that draws attention in a certain direction is commonly judged as noise.

The equivalent continuous sound level Leq is the constant sound level which has the total sound energy equivalent to the energy of a actual fluctuating sound produced over a given period of time. As an example, consider the illustration at right. In the top graph, the sound level fluctuates from 47 to 60 dB within the time interval t1 to t2. When the total energy of this sound is equated to a constant sound level over the same period, the 53 dB value (bottom graph) is obtained.

Equivalent continuous sound level Leq is used for environmental noise evaluation.

Many different kinds of sound level meters exist. The optimum device to be chosen will depend on the purpose of the measurement, the required accuracy, and the data processing method that is to be employed. Some of the main categories are listed below: ①Sound Level Meter class 1/class 2 (NL series) These are the most common types of sound level meters, whose performance are defined by the applicable standards. The difference is in accuracy. ②High-Precision Measuring Amplifier A wide range of frequency and level range settings make this product suitable for many different measurements. ③Sound Level Meter with Analysis Functions (NA-28, NL-62 with NX-62RT/42FT, NL-52/42 with NX-42RT/42FT) These are portable sound level meters with real-time analysis or FFT analysis functions. ④Environmentel Noise Monitor This type of device performs data processing according to standards and regulations.

It serves for measurements as well as for observation and monitoring of noise. ⑤Sound Level Meter (With low-frequency sound measurement function). (NL-62 with NX-62RT) Allows G-weighted sound level measurement in conjunction with 1/3 octave real-time analysis. ⑥Sound Level Display Designed for mounting in outdoor urban locations, this type of device can display the ambient sound level at a specific point.

Quality Knowledge in a Nutshell Documentation

Sound Level Meter is a device for turning physical properties of sound into numeric values. Psychological, physiological and subjective aspects cannot be measured.

A reverse curve corresponding to the equal loudness curve at 60 phon is applied to the sound pressure (this is called "A"-frequency weighting). The resulting level is called A-weighted sound level and is expressed in dB.

VIBRATION AND VIBRATION METERS Importance of Vibration Measurement

Normally, vibrations arising in an industrial or residential environment are clearly an unwanted phenomenon, except in some special cases. Such unwanted vibrations are not only unpleasant to humans but they can also shorten the life of machinery, impair product quality, and cause defects and breakdowns. Sound arising from vibrations is also an environmental problem. Finding solutions to the multi-faceted problems presented by vibrations therefore is an important and pressing task. RION vibration meters are effective tools used to collect information in a wide range of fields. These include the maintenance, monitoring and testing of machinery, product design and research, quality control, noise and vibration countermeasure research, evaluation of tools and vehicles according to labor environment and hygienic regulations, vibration pollution control, and seismographic data collection and disaster prevention.

Measurement of Vibration Pollution (Vibration Level Meter)

There are three vibration parameters which can be used to express the magnitude of vibration: displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Which of these factors is used depends on the type of vibration and the measurement objective. The relationship between them in the case of a sine wave vibration is shown in the illustration below.

The evaluation of vibrations considered as environmental pollution uses the vibration level (dB), which is based on the pattern of human sensitivity to vibration. This is the same principle employed for the measurement and evaluation of sound pressure levels considered noise. Compensation according to human sensitivity characteristics is applied to the measured physical quantity (acceleration in the case of vibration pollution), and the resulting value forms the basis of evaluation.

The illustration below shows the frequency response that is stipulated by JIS C 1510 for vibration level meters.

Vibration Meters for Mechanical Vibrations When vibration meters are used for measuring machine vibrations, a suitable accelerometer must be selected depending on the type of mechanical.

Accelerometers designed for low frequencies measure low acceleration levels and, thus, are highly sensitive. However, their larger size and mass result in low resonance frequency when mounted. Accelerometers for high frequency measure high acceleration levels and are normally compact and lightweight with low sensitivity.

RION offers a selection of piezoelectric accelerometers, covering a wide frequency range. By combining an accelerometer with a vibration meter that is designed to make the best use of its characteristics, a wide range of measurements can be performed with optimum efficiency.

Piezoelectric accelerometers are normally used for measuring vibrations with a frequency of more than 1 Hz. This type of accelerometer has good high-frequency characteristics and is especially suited for measuring vibrations in the upper frequency range. Major applications are vibration monitoring and diagnostic checks of mechanical installations in industrial plants. Piezoelectric accelerometers generate a certain amount of low-frequency noise when ambient temperatures change (so-called pyronoise). Depending on the application, the accelerometers must therefore be protected from temperature changes. When velocity and displacement to be used for evaluation are obtained by integrating acceleration, pyronoise will to be evaluated as integral products, pyronoise will be amplified and must therefore be given special consideration. With the exception of types containing, piezoelectric accelerometers require a charge amplifier.

What is the piezoelectric accelerometer?

Certain types of crystals will generate an electrical charge on their surface when pressure is applied. The amount of the charge is proportional to the external force. This phenomenon is called the piezoelectric effect, and the vibration acceleration sensor called a piezoelectric accelerometer makes use of it.

Piezoelectric accelerometers can be made compact and lightweight, allowing them to cover a wide vibration frequency range.

Accuracy and reliability are also very good, and handling is simple.

Thanks to these characteristics, piezoelectric accelerometers are widely used for many general applications, and also serve as reference accelerometers. There are two types of piezoelectric accelerometers, namely shear-type and compression-type, which differ in the way the piezoelectric element is used.

①Types of equipment maintenance Depending on the importance of the equipment, there are various kinds of maintenance, required. In each case, the objective is to achieve maximum efficiency at minimum cost. ●Breakdown Maintenance (BM) The principle here is to repair equipment when it breaks down. ●Time-Based Maintenance (TBM) Parts are replaced at regular intervals regardless of breakdown and schedules are established for routine checks, disassembly and repairs. This is a kind of Preventive Maintenance (PM). ●Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) The operational condition of machinery is regularly measured to determine the degree of deterioration or the existence of other factors equipment breakdown, Mechanical Checks, disassembly, repairs, and parts replacement are then carried out as a result.

This is a kind of predictive maintenance (PRM). ②Equipment diagnosis by vibration measurement The vibration method diagnosis by vibration measurement involves measuring vibrations of the equipment in operation for early detection of problems and taking optimum countermeasures. This is effective for key equipment directly linked to manufacturing facilities, particularly rotating (machines). ③Frequency response on vibration parameter Depending on the vibration frequency, each amplitude response of displacement, velocity and acceleration will be different. During equipment diagnosis, the following distinctions must be made; It is important to have a clear understanding of which type of vibration is likely to increase and should use an appropriate vibration parameter depending on abnormality. In some cases, both velocity and acceleration may have to be measured. ④Diagnosis methods ●Simple diagnosis For this type of diagnosis, vibration measurements are carried out periodically by service personnel; The trend management of measurement results are then used for preventive maintenance of equipment.

Suitable products include VM-82A, VM-63A, VA-12, etc. ●Precision diagnosis Vibration signals are processed using FFT analysis or other similar techniques to identify problem areas and to initiate checks and repairs.

Suitable products include VA-12, RIONOTE etc.

Acceleration= × d (2π f )2

Shear-type accelerometer The accelerometer is constructed in such a way that the piezoelectric element is subjected to a shear force. Sensitivity is high, which allows for small dimensions. Pyronoise (pyroelectric output) caused by temperature changes is low, which is advantageous for measuring low-level vibrations and vibrations in the low frequency range.

This type is useful for monitoring vibrations in machinery and buildings, and for seismometer applications.

FREQUENCY AND FREQUENCY ANALYZERS Frequency Analysis and Frequency analyzers Normally, sound and vibration phenomena occur with specific frequency characteristics. Multiple frequency components coexist in complex patterns.

Determining the respective levels of these frequency components is called frequency analysis.

Countermeasures for noise or vibrations will not be effective over the entire frequency range. Therefore, target values and evaluation criteria must be set separately for the various frequency bands.

①Real-time analyzer The most commonly used method for assessing the sensory impact of noise and vibration and for evaluating countermeasures is 1/1 octave and 1/3 octave analysis.

Averaging can be carried out using the same frequency weighting and time weighting as the sound level meter or vibration level meter. This makes it possible to evaluate the actual impact that the noise or vibration phenomenon has on humans.

The technique is used for many different tasks such as sound insulation measurements for architectural acoustics, evaluation of indoor noise, sound power level measurements, evaluation of building materials, sound quality evaluation, and propagation characteristics measurement.

FFT and Signal Processing ①FFT analyzer The result of FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis is characterized by constant bandwidth. In the input of an FFT analyzer, a low-pass filter (anti-aliasing filter) is used to remove signal components other than those of the bandwidth to be analyzed.

Then, the A/D circuit converts the input into a digital signal, and time window processing is carried out. Finally, FFT processing is performed, resulting in discrete frequency analysis. ②Signal processing The FFT analyzer can also provide amplitude information and phase information. In the time domain, this includes time waveform, auto-correlation, cross-correlation, amplitude probability density function. In the frequency domain, spectrum, dual-channel cross-spectrum, transfer function, and coherence function can be calculated. Intensity measurement, as well as 1/1 and 1/3 octave band analysis (octave synthesis), can be carried out, and mode analysis and tracking analysis for the entire system are possible.

②Constant ratio type filter and constant width type filter Filters used in frequency analyzers are of two types: constant ratio and constant width. In a constant ratio filter, the width of the passband varies in proportion to the center frequency while in a constant width filter, the passband width is always the same. Figure 2 illustrates the underlying principle. When a logarithmic scale is used for the frequency axis, the bandwidth of the constant ratio filter is shown as a constant, while the bandwidth of the constant width filter is shown as becoming narrower towards higher frequencies. When plotting frequency analysis results on a graph, it is therefore common to use a logarithmic frequency axis for a constant ratio ration filter and a linear scale for a fixed. ③Filter specifications Octave band and 1/3 octave band analyzers for acoustic and vibration measurements are specified in JIS C 1513. Filter characteristics for octave band and 1/N octave band filters are specified in JIS C 1514. Internationally, the IEC 61260 is used.

The fact that filter specifications are governed by international standards means that data can be easily compared. However, for FFT analyzers there are no JIS or international standards. Therefore, different analysis results may be obtained depending on the performance and settings of the analyzer in use.

①Frequency analyzers Devices for the frequency analysis of sound and vibrations can be divided into real-time analyzers and FFT analyzers, depending on their purpose. Figure 1 shows the analysis results of the same signal waveform processed on 1/3 octave band analysis and FFT analysis. A real-time analyzer employs a number of bandpass filters with a constant ratio (1/1,1/3, or 1/N octave bands). Frequency analysis performed with such a device serves mainly to assess the sensory impact of sound or vibration phenomena.

The FFT analyzer is calculated by constant width band. Frequency analysis performed with such a device serves mainly to assess the physical magnitude of sound or vibration phenomena.

②FFT analyzer An FFT analyzer serves for assessing the physical aspects of sound or vibration phenomena and for devising suitable countermeasures. General applicability is good because analysis can be carried out in the time domain as well as in the frequency domain. Frequency resolution is excellent, which is essential for locating the sources of noise and vibrations, and the relationships between signals in multiple channels (for example, sound and vibration) can also be explored. FFT analyzers are extensively used in sound and vibration analysis of cars, machinery, computers, electric home appliances, etc., and in the development and evaluation of damping materials. Measurement types include mechanical impedance, mode analysis, intensity measurement, tracking analysis, propagation characteristics measurement, and sound quality measurement. FFT analyzers are indispensable tools in the fight against noise and vibrations.

What is percentile noise level?

Vibration Meter

These are evaluation quantities used to measure sound occurrence which is irregular and where its level fluctuates drastically.

A certain time period is considered for the measurement. When the sound level exceeds a certain level for N % of the time under consideration, its level is called the N percentile level. For example, if the measurement time is 10 minutes and 55 dB was exceeded for a total of 5 minutes, 55 dB is the 50 % percentile sound level (median value). If 55 dB was exceeded for a total of 30 seconds, 55 dB is L5 (5 % percentile level).

What is sound in the low frequency range like?

Frequency Analyzer

The range from 1 Hz to 100 Hz is commonly referred to as the low frequency range. In particular, acoustic waves between 1 and 20 Hz, i.e. below the threshold of hearing, are called infrasound or subsonic waves. The NL-62 is a sound level meter that covers not only the range of audible noise but also allows measurement of the low-frequency sound range.

Noise in the audible range is often described as noisy or clamorous, referring directly to the quality of the sound, while low-frequency energy in the barely audible or inaudible range is usually described in psychological terms such as being unpleasant or oppressive. Normally, with a 10 Hz infrasound, a sound pressure level of 90 dB or more is said to be noticeable to humans, while at 20 Hz, the threshold is 80 dB. At higher levels, the phenomenon is experienced negatively, and the psychological terms mentioned above tend to be used.

What is G weighting?

Recorder

To evaluate the psychological and physiological effects of infrasound in the range from 1 to 20 Hz, the G weighting curve was established as ISO 7196 in March 1995. The curve is referenced to 10 Hz and uses the threshold values for human perception of infrasound. The principle is the same as that for A characteristics weighting employed in sound level meters, which uses 1 kHz as reference and simulates the characteristics of human hearing in the audible range.

What is frequency analysis?

Related Products

Sound and vibrations commonly have complex waveforms consisting of many different frequency components. The process of dividing such a complex waveform into discrete frequency components in order to examine the nature of the sound or vibration is called frequency analysis. Commonly used types of frequency analysis are 1/1, 1/3 octave band analysis, and FFT analysis.

What are 1/1 octave band analysis and 1/3 octave band analysis?

Measuring Instrument Combinations External view drawings

Our perception of the pitch of a sound is mainly determined by its frequency. The perceived difference in pitch between sounds is not proportional to the difference in frequency but to the ratio of the frequency. The bandpass filters used for frequency analysis come in two types: fixed ratio filters, where the ratio between the upper boundary frequency and lower boundary frequency of the filter is constant, and fixed width filter, where the difference between the upper boundary frequency and lower boundary frequency of the filter is constant. (For details, see page 35.) Analysis with the aim of evaluating noise normally uses fixed ratio filters (since) these can more easily be made to approximate the subjective hearing impression of humans. A frequency ratio of 2 is called an octave, and a set of filters where the upper boundary frequency is 2 times the lower boundary frequency is called a 1/1 octave bandpass filter. The nominal center frequencies of a 1/1 octave band filter are 31.5, 63, 125, 250, 500, 1 000, 2 000 Hz, and so on.

In other words, adjacent filters have a ratio of 2. When detailed frequency is required, 1/3 octave filters are used, which are centered on the frequencies 31.5, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125 Hz, etc. Here, the adjacent filters have a ratio of 1.25 (one third of an octave).

What is FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis?

Outline

Simple sine and cosine waves Time axis

Frequency axis

Quality Knowledge in a Nutshell Documentation

This method uses an algorithm called "Fast Fourier Transform" to divide a component signal with a seemingly irregular time cycle into a set of frequency spectrum components that make it possible to detect regularity in the signal.

FFT analysis is widely used for voice analysis, quality evaluation and fault detection in automobiles, electrical appliances and other products using acoustic and vibration signals.

Fourier Transform is named after the French mathematician Fourier (1768 to 1830) who postulated that any periodic function can be expressed as the sum of the trigonometric function. In 1965, Cooly and Tukey developed an algorithm based upon this concept and, several years later, this became available as an FFT program.

What is an sound intensity measurement?

Company Outline

This kind of measurement allows sound to be considered as a quantity with a direction component (vector quantity).

The instantaneous sound pressure passing a point in a fluid and the instantaneous particle velocity are multiplied, resulting in the intensity vector (vector quantity). In other words, the sound power (W/m2) that passes the unit area in the unit time is the sound intensity. By measuring the sound intensity, the sound distribution on the measurement plane and the depth of the sound source can be visualized.

Foundation Date: August 24, 1940 Chairman: Kohei Yamamoto (Doctor of Engineering) Location: 3-20-41 Higashi-Motomachi, Kokubunji, Tokyo, 185-0022 Japan Tel +81-42-321-2841 ■ History Based on a public grant by the industrialist Uneo Kobayasi, the concept for the Kobayasi Institute of Physical Research was worked out by Koji Sato, Takuzo Sakai, and others.

In August 1940, permission to establish a non-profit foundation was granted by the Japanese Ministry of Education.

Originally, research was to cover the entire scope of physical science, but eventually the main focus came to be acoustics, which continues to this day.

In 1943, the development of a method to artificially grow Rochelle salt prompted the founding of Kobayashi-Riken Seisakusho Ltd., which is now Rion Corporation.

The institute became a general incorporated foundation in April 2013.
